![]() ![]() Having barely escaped with his life, Jonas must prove to the world that Meg still exists. ![]() ![]() Years ago, on a top-secret dive seven miles down into the Mariana Trench, Jonas came face to face with an ancient monster everyone believed extinct. For Navy deep-sea submersible pilot Jonas Taylor, it nearly was too late. It could sense its prey miles away, inhaling its scent as it registered the beat of its fluttering heart, and if you ever came close enough to see the monster. Hundreds of 7-inch serrated teeth filled jaws that could swallow an elephant whole. "Carcharodon megalodon - apex predator of all time, the most fearsome creatures that ever lived - a 70-foot, 60,000 pound Great White Shark. ![]() ![]() ![]() Grooms has received many awards for his writings: the Lillian Smith Prize for Fiction (twice), the Sokolov Scholarship of the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, the Lamar lectureship of Wesleyan College, and an Arts Administration Fellowship by the National Endowment for the Arts. Grooms is now an instructor teaching creative writing, along with other English and literature courses, at Kennesaw State University outside of Atlanta, Georgia. In Atlanta, he found the civil rights movement during the 1960s as a basis for his writing. ![]() He moved to Atlanta, Georgia, in 1988 after first finishing graduate school and then marrying Pamela B. Grooms has always been a writer, but he never considered himself one until graduate school. He has taught at a variety of schools: Clark State University, University of Georgia, University of Cape Coast in Ghana, West Africa, and Kennesaw State University. He strived for a more advanced education and graduated in 1984 from George Mason University with a Masters of Fine Arts in English. Graduating in 1978 from the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, Anthony Grooms received a Bachelor of Arts in theatre and speech. ![]() ![]() ![]() Until then, the most taxing part of her days had been deciding which hat to wear. After a crash course in toxicology, she dons a beard and trousers and she’s off, tracking the huntsman. ![]() Newly divorced from her philandering ex, Fiona is desperate for adventure, as well as determined to help her country. When he breaks his leg en route, file clerk Fiona Figg sees her big chance. The War Office plans to send their own spy to the abbey, posing as a doctor on holiday. ![]() ![]() Who’s he really working for? Why is he in England? And what kind of name is Fredrick Fredricks? They need someone to infiltrate the abbey and get the goods on Fredricks. Charisma, but the upper brass in the War Office think he’s a German spy. Fredrick Fredricks-big-game hunter-cum-journalist-is swaggering around the village in jodhpurs, shopping for expensive mustache pomades, and taking tea with posh country ladies. It’s 1917, the height of the Great War, and a suspicious South African war correspondent has taken up residence at Ravenswick Abbey. Recently, I wrote my first historical mystery, Betrayal at Ravenswick, a WW1 mystery featuring file clerk turned spy, Fiona Figg. I love reading historical mysteries-Elizabeth Peters’ Amelia Peabody, Jacqueline Winspear’s Maisie Dobbs, Rhys Bowen’s Georgiana Rannoch, Sujata Massey’s Perveen Mistry. ![]() |
